Senior GCP Engineer (Google Cloud Platform)

Location: Manchester (2 days onsite)
Salary: Up to £95,000 + Bonus + Benefits

Ready to build cloud infrastructure properly, automated, scalable, secure, and engineered (not manually stitched together)

This is a high-impact role for a Senior GCP Engineer / Platform Engineer who wants ownership, modern tooling, and a team that actually practices DevOps and Infrastructure as Code (IaC).

The Opportunity:
Join a cross-functional platform engineering team delivering enterprise-scale Google Cloud Platform (GCP) infrastructure.
Youll design reusable cloud products, build automation, and define standards used by multiple engineering teams across a large-scale GCP estate.
This is hands-on engineering, not support, with real influence over architecture, tooling, and DevOps practices.

What Youll Be Doing:
Build and manage GCP infrastructure using Terraform & Terraform Cloud
Design and maintain reusable Infrastructure as Code (IaC) modules
Improve Terraform state management, structure, and scalability
Develop automation and tooling using Python
Engineer secure GCP landing zones (org policies, guardrails, policy as code OPA/Sentinel, zero trust)
Work with Kubernetes (GKE), containers, and service mesh technologies (e.g. Istio)
Manage cluster operations, networking, and service-to-service communication
Build and optimise CI/CD pipelines (GitHub, Jenkins, Harness)
Drive DevOps best practices and cloud adoption across teams

What Youll Bring:
Strong experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
Solid background in DevOps / Platform Engineering
Advanced Terraform skills (modules, workspaces, state management)
Experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
Strong Python scripting for automation
Hands-on experience with Kubernetes / GKE, containerisation, and service mesh architectures
Experience with cloud security, governance, and policy as code
Relevant GCP or Terraform certifications (desirable)

Nice to Have:
SME-level GCP expertise or consulting background
Experience influencing architecture and DevOps strategy
Exposure to internal developer platforms (e.g. Backstage)

Why Join?
Modern GCP-native environment (not legacy-heavy)
High level of engineering autonomy and ownership
Opportunity to shape cloud platforms at scale
Backed by a major UK organisation with strong career progression
Culture focused on DevOps, automation, and engineering excellence
